A THE or BLOOD.

The awful series OF tragedies in Missis-
sipp, which Mr.. Marshall uncoyes in the
Appeal today, should fix the public mind
OF that State, especially, forever in oppo-
sition to the Infamous, brutal and murder
Gus system Of conyict-leased labor. No
man who has hope in Christ, no man
who simply confines his faith to God, no
nun who believes in the supremacy Of
civilization and who abhoN slvagory, will
fail, on reading the facts and figures here
30 convincingly arrayed, to give his voice
and vote, heartily aud unrcseryedly, Tor
the extirpgiion OF n system that owes
It's origin TO the accused cupidity and
greed Of men who put dollars above liN0s
and would sacrifice even the fair name OF
a great State TO maintain themselves in
luxury and political ascendancy. The
blood Of many murdered men cries out
against this cruel and relentless system Of
slavery, anil their protest in death will fol-
low their murlercs, and the masters Of
thcsc muricrcrs, 30 long rs they shall live.
It is a system covered with blood; il Is a
system full of namcless tcrroS and horrors
Il shamcs the mcrcicssness OF the black
hole OF Calcutta, and can only be paral-
lclcd by the middle passage Mississippi
should rise in her might and put 1t away
icrrycr, aud with il the men who have
iosiorcd it and pr5Gled by it.

ROBERT BONNER.

Mr.. Robert Bonner, proprietor Of the
New York Ledger, has retired from its
management, which will hereafter devolve
upon his sons, who have been associated
with him in its publication for the last ten
years. Mr.. Bonner, who is now in his
sixty-fourth year, has lead a very active
and useful life, and has fairly earned the
rest he looks forward to. lie emigrated
from Ireland to this country with his
parents in 1889, and learned the art of
printing in the Office Of the Hartford
Courant, and there earned his first
triumph, when he set loo ems per hour,
and thus proved himself the fastest compos-
itor in the Office perhaps in New England.
He was poor, but not uncducated, and he
made good use ri his leisure time in read
ing, and thus stored his mind with facts that
were to be Of use TO him in after years,
when editorial honOrs came 10 him. After
N"'ihb 'Ht NOHidHl Nv NHo NihpiVlNh Wy
the American Republican, and afterward
on the Evening Mirror, at that time under
the management Of n. T.. Willis, Gen.
Morris and Hiram Fuller. lie had con-
troll Of the display advertising Of the paper,
and gave evidence then Of the excellent
judgment in such matters which forever
ai,crward distinguished him. llisindustry,
irugality and perseverance put him in 1851
in position to become the owner Of the
Merchants Ledger, a name changed 10y
him TO the New York Ledger. Its success
in the particular line laid out for il by Mr..
Bonner was phenomenal. Wealth flowed
to his Golfers. Wealth he has, to his honor,
always made generous and judicious
use Of. Az the Herald, from which We
gather these facts Of Mr.. Bonner's career
says "Thc north Of Ireland has perhaps
furnished more brains, muscle and energy
TO this country than any other land-slripe of
the same size in Europe. The successful
men. in every walk whose parents first
drew the breath OF life there may be
counted by the thousand. Robert Bonner
has done honor TO his strain of blood"

GERMANY.

The cable news from Berlin, which We
publish this morning, il Of unusual impor-
lance. II deals with the interview between
bismarck and the Gar and with the hon
ors that await Prince William in conse-
quenco OF the illness of his father,
the Crown Prince. IL tells u story
that will confirm those who believe
in luck. Bismarck, who had both hands
full Of trumps, found the Gar, from the
beginning, in yielding frame of mind.
He had realized the situation and was
ready 10 throw up the game. 1t is believed
in Berlin that he went so far us to concede
n change Of his Cabinet, the dismissal, even,
OF nctiicrs, his Prime Minister, andacom-
plcte change in his financial policy. What
more could bismarck ask than this? II is
a wonderful victory, an ample vindication
OF his slatesnanship in forming the triple
alliance. lie set out to bring the great
hblih'ih h'sN w Nltiof anu ho iisbn
done II without shedding drop
of blood. Surely, no is lucky
man. Things come to his hand just when
lac is ready To grasp and use them. An
other prof OF this is furnished in the
mortal Illness Of the Crown Prince, who,
with his wife, was opposed to the abso-
hlism Of bismarck II was conceded,
even by the friends OF the Chancellor
himself. that, in ease OF the survival and
the good health Of the Prince, his career
would come to an end with the death Of
the venerable Emperor. But luck is
kind to him in this, too. The
Crown Prince is counted out, as we would
say in this country by the hand Of fate,
and his sou, ripe with the spirit Of abso-
luiism. brought up in the school Of Bis.
marck, is to take his place. Hereafter rs
our Berlin dispatch tells us, Prince Will
lam is IN represent his father at cere-
monies. and win act for the Emper-
or whom, perhaps, he is shortly
to succeed. Thus Bismarck has check
mated the French and the Russians
takes credit for maintaining the peace Of
Europe, and realizes his cherished hope
Of ioiling tho Crown Princess tiho En-
glish Princess Royal whose marriage
with the Crown Prince he openly opposed
because. as he said, Il brought the
syphili,ic faint Of tho blood Of
the Georges into that Of the
IIohcnzollcrn-, n race 81 healthy, stalwart

Emperor, and she has no influence with
her son. bismarck Is still master OF the
situation.

seryatsm that is the hope of France. But
ho Is brave old man. lilo prefers duty
and character to his son-in-law; he prefers
France TO kindred. He has accepted the
resignation of the Ministry, and promises

unity and strengthen it so that 1t

This Is tho resolve OF patriot, OF
a statesman. Ilo puts country

rcancy OF his son.in-law and that Of all his
once trusted servants; it must survive all
contingencies. 1t represents the will OF

of II great nation; still more, II represents

lishmcnt Of governments of the people, by
the people and Tor the people.
